Boy and His Goat, A

Synopsis

Plot

You're a fifteen year old kid, which means you're at your peak, halfway into life and not likely to keep your teeth for much longer.

You're going into town to sell your family's only goat. The old goat froze his legs off sometime last winter, which means you have to carry him to the market. You'll be sorry to see the old bleater go, but the money will put food on the table for the winter. And if someone were to steal it, well, you'd rather not think about that.
